Nosey people and blue badges.

Hi everyone :wave:

I just thought I would share my story with you all about a rather bizarre experience I had in Asda car park a few weeks ago which upset me greatly. I have osteogenisis imperfecta (brittle bones) as a result of this I have a very severe kyphosis scoliosis which causes my upper spine to stick out a lot. Anyway my dad was getting me out of the car whle my mum got the wheelchair out the boot and this man in his late 50sish marches up to me and says I am faking my disability and thres Nothing wrong with me . I am to young to be disabled and must have got my blue badge fraudulently :mad:
My dad pointed out my conditions to him (thy are very obvious ) and the man said I must have stuffed something up my back to cause the hump!! I then told him to feel it he did and walked off saying I was a useless scrounger !!! I was so pest by this my parents had to take me home I'm still pretty upset now. Has anyone else experienced this sort of thing ?

I don't know who it was but why would you challenge somebody who has a valid blue badge they aren't easy to get

Most old people think its a old persons blue badge not a disabled blue badge. And that only old people should have one. Most of the old people I see with blue badges can walk perfectly well. but look at us younger ones as if we have fraudulently got ours. makes be mad

I know I don't get where that attitude comes form. You can't be disabled until you hit retirement in their minds

Tell 'em you'll bet them £100 to charity on your disability being genuine.

Should shut the cowards up. :cool:

I had a friend with a brain tumour who i drove to the PO to collect her disability payments(some years ago) the woman behind the counter made disparaging remarks to her about the use of the blue badge and her disability payments as she could see there was nothing wrong with her, I obviously went in after she told me and created hell in front of a shop full

I always say, "Okay, I'll have your health, you have my Multiple Sclerosis, then you can have my badge" That usually does it!
Please don't be upset by these people they are just ignorant.
